Johnny, a black cab driver in Brixton, gave Mayor Boris Johnson a roasting over minicabs and services like Uber.

"I understand the rage of taxi driver at what has happened to the market," Mr Johnson told the LBC caller. "They are dealing with the impact of a very powerful force which is consumer choice and preference."

"What are we trying to do is to help your trade by introducing new measures to insist that minicab drivers know English, that they have a basic understanding of the geography of the city and we want to bring a restriction of the number of minicabs."
